When you need yards to meters
Golf distances, American football fields, and archery ranges are measured in yards. Multiplying by 0.9144 converts them: a 150-yard approach shot is about 137 m, and a 100-yard football field is 91.44 m goal line to goal line.
The yard is defined as exactly 0.9144 meters, which also makes it exactly 3 feet or 36 inches. If you remember one number for imperial length, this is a good one — the foot (0.3048 m) and inch (2.54 cm) both derive from it.
